Use Cases: Forest Elephants -Loxodonta africana
• Different than savanna elephants(likely different species)
• Solitary, elusive, less seasonalmigration
• Change their behaviour in response to poaching threat, gunshots
• Human-wildlife conflicts
• We know very little about theirmovements and ranges over time
• Few tracked individuals
• How can we observe changes in movements to actively protectthem?
